"Elizabethtown" and "In Her Shoes"
Went movie-hopping yesterday!It was a national holiday so no work. Hurray! I wanted to see both movies and since it was "ladies day Wednesday" where the movie fees are 1000 yen (=$8), instead of the normal 1800 yen (=$15), I went ahead and saw both! Fun! Fun!
Elizabethtown: The trailer made the movie seem better than it actually was. The storyline didn't make too much sense to me, but I did like the roadtrip scenes. Made me feel nostalgic about all the roadtrips I've been on. Ooh, I really miss going on roadtrips. They're not easy to go on over here because the "freeways" aren't "free" over here. It feels like you have to pay $5 for every mile you go on the freeways here. Of course, it's not THAT expensive, but coming from where it was all FREE, it feels just the same. Ooh, the freedom of driving for miles and miles without a town in sight and nothing but nature surrounding you...I really miss that.
In Her Shoes: Didn't really know what the movie was about, but it sounded fun so I saw it. It was great! Cameron Diaz was great. Ella, the grandmother, was great too. Fun movie. Happy ending.
After seeing two movies with plenty of American culture in them, I feel HOMESICK! I know right now I'm here in Japan by choice...but at the same time, I have to say I feel torn between wanting to be in the States living my life as I had pictured it, but also feeling like I'm here because there must be something I'm supposed to find for myself in this place. I don't think I've found what it is yet that I'm supposed to find.
Anyone have any ideas on what it is I'm in search of here?
